On Thursday, July 18, Webcor Interns engaged in a collaborative and team-oriented event with students at ER Taylor Elementary School in San Francisco. Webcor Interns and SCORES youth were organized into 10 groups with the task of designing and constructing a structure inspired by the books assigned to each class for the summer. The values of SCORES and Webcor served as guiding principles. SCORES Core values - Commitment, Leadership, Sportsmanship, and Teamwork; Webcor Core values - Bold, Community, Craft, Innovate, and Trust. We acknowledge and value the interns' dedication and teamwork. Webcor, we deeply appreciate and take pride in our partnership with you! #WebcorInterns #SCORESYouth #TeamBuilding #CommunityEngagement #YouthDevelopment

Bands of roving nine- and ten-year-olds campaigning for “Bees for Trees”? Running a Kindness Carnival, speaking out about bullying, picking up trash, raising funds for the humane society and women’s shelters, creating homeless hygiene kits, and painting public picnic tables? A mirage? Or the real deal? Check out our latest blog post to learn more about our service learning programming: https://lnkd.in/dFn5WJqX

On Tuesday, July 16, Sixth Street employees had an enriching day with the girls of SCORES Selecta Camp at Crocker Amazon Soccer Field in San Francisco! The Sixth Street volunteers and campers were organized into three groups and engaged in various activities including relay races, tic-tac-toe, mini Jeopardy, and soccer games. SELECTA camps provide tailored programming for girls, addressing their unique needs and concerns. This personalized support encourages players on girls-only teams to assume leadership roles, prolong their involvement, and recruit female classmates to join SCORES. We deeply appreciate the dedication of Sixth Street volunteers in bringing joy to SCORES youth. Our partnership with Sixth Street is invaluable.

“How can we take the best of present and emerging technologies and create value for our primary customers – our students, families, and coaches? How can we obtain or build tools that address the reporting requirements of school districts and funders? How can we ensure that we’re benefiting SCORES coaches and students and not just benefiting a system?” These questions posed by SCORES Chief Technology Officer Pete Swearengen are driving our work behind SCORES Lab, a solutions hub for data gathering, data management, and data-driven decision-making hosted on open-source development platform GitHub. SCORES Lab was made possible through the tremendous support of volunteers from Salesforce and MuleSoft, who contributed thousands of hours in pro bono engineering and professional support to help us leverage technology without compromising quality or impact. This volunteer team continues to grow through our new partnership with Develop for Good, an organization that pairs college students and recent graduates with nonprofits to leverage their skills in engineering, design, and product management for social good. Read our blog to learn more about the way SCORES Lab is serving our students and coaches, our vision for its future, and the opportunities for volunteer engineers and developers to get involved: https://lnkd.in/grJUm8sk.
